Is marriage a forced prostitution? <br />Or part of noble institution? <br />Why there be irrelevant question? <br />Or even stress and specific mention, <br /> <br />When tied a nuptial knot, <br />No question of no or not, <br />After so many wrangles fought, <br />Beautiful creature in vision is caught, <br /> <br />Many argue it is decided in heaven, <br />Not facing odds but some situation also even, <br />When marriage is over, happy ending then, <br />Question arises how to begin new life and when, <br /> <br />Initial days pass with happiness and joy, <br />To keep bride happy all tactics employ, <br />Each passing of day may add happiness or gloom, <br />Flowers also may fade after initial boom, <br /> <br />When wife starts distancing self, <br />All utensils make noise in shelf, <br />Soon to realize reality and gravity of situation, <br />Days may be over marking end of infatuation, <br /> <br />With issue of one or two more kids, <br />Most of the time spent on feeds, <br />Slackness in relation emerge to surface, <br />Wife may feel as if going near to furnace, <br /> <br />All this lead to scuffle and unrest, <br />Real time comes when relation to test, <br />All try to avoid and keep it as best, <br />Everything now done is at their behest, <br /> <br />Legal pundits say marriage can be termed, <br />Forced prostitution may be but can’t be named, <br />Court may term it as torture and atrocity, <br />Life can be in doldrums and not remain as continuity, <br /> <br />Whether willing or unwilling she has to submit, <br />Though not to liking but surrender and admit, <br />But it is long and painful debate, <br />Matter should end and nothing more to relate,<br /><br />hasmukh amathalal<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/is-marriage-a-forced-i/
